Canadian Bridge ConferenceSet for Aug. 3-6

The early-registration deadline with discounted rates is April 30 for the CSCE 8th International Conference on Short and Medium Span Bridges, scheduled for Aug. 3-6 at Niagara Falls, Ontario.

The conference, hosted by the Canadian Society for Civil Engineering (CSCE), is convened every four years as a forum for state-of-the-art design, engineering, construction, and maintenance of short- and medium-span bridges. More than 200 papers have been submitted for technical-program consideration, the CSCE said.

Also planned as part of the event is a tour of the Structural Engineering and Earthquake Simulation Laboratory in Buffalo, N.Y., and a tour of recent bridge-construction projects in the Niagara area.
